What do you and your spouse argue about the most?

My husband and I rarely argue, but when we do it is usually about things that happened in the past.
As long as we stay focused on the present and the future, we do much better.
Anyone else have the same experience?
 
I am a workaholic and he argues that I should rest more. Sometimes I even get up in the middle of the night to put on a wash of clothes without him knowing it. He tries to help as much as possible but its never enough for me, its a sickness, I think.
 
Lately we've been arguing about whether he should come home since he's been living with his boyfriend for 3 weeks. I say no, he says yes and I'm just torn.
 
We argue about his son (my stepson). He's spent the last few years being a "buddy" instead of a parent, and that enabling has turned the kid into an emotional cripple that's underequipped to deal with the real world. Meanwhile, I'm not supposed to have an opinion on the situation and I'm expected to sit and take all the BS with a smile on my face.
 
We've argued twice in our marriage. First we argued about his World of Warcraft addiction (I cancelled his account until he was able to get a grip on how much time he was playing), then we argued about staying with his family when we go to visit this summer (We both want to stay with my family, as we get along with them better, but he's afraid of hurting his mother's feelings because she's incredibly sensitive, dramatic, and manipulative). Everything else has gone pretty smoothly, because we're both really eager to avoid conflict and able to put things in perspective (i.e. is it worth causing a fight about dishes left in the sink as opposed to in the dishwasher).
